   here). We've also given the
   [Remote Taskfiles documentation](https://taskfile.dev/docs/remote-taskfiles) a
   bit of a polish (#1317, #2906 by @pd93).
+- Added a per-command `timeout` that terminates a command once it exceeds the
+  given duration (Go duration syntax). It covers shell commands, task calls,
+  deferred commands, `deps` and the `if` condition, obeys `ignore_error`, and
+  reports exit code `124`. Callers that join a `run: once` or `when_changed`
+  task already running now honor their own `timeout`, and inherit that task's
+  failure instead of being told it succeeded (#1569, #2898 by @vmaerten).
 - Considerably improve performance of fingerprinting on large repositories
   (monorepos). Fingerprinting is up to 86% faster and make up to 70% fewer
   memory allocations on the more advanced scenarios. Benchmarks were added as
   well. We're basically skipping work when not needed. (#2853, #2883 by
   @Napolitain, #2884 by @Napolitain).
-- Updated taskfile versions doc to mention when version checks were introduced
-  (#2184 by @jubr).
-- Fixed `joinUrl` collapsing the `//` in a URL scheme (e.g. producing
-  `http:/localhost` instead of `http://localhost`) (#2915 by @vsaraikin).
-- Added support for `enum.ref` in `--interactive` prompts. Required vars using
-  `enum.ref` now show the selection list like static enums, instead of falling
-  back to free-form input (#2817 by @vmaerten).
 - Further improved fingerprinting performance on large repositories: hashing
   source files now reuses a single buffer, reducing memory allocations by ~98%
   and wall-clock time by ~7% (#2925 by @vmaerten).
+- `includes.excludes` can now exclude a whole namespace: append `:*` to the
+  namespace name, e.g. `excludes: ['debug:*']`. Bare entries still match a
+  single task name exactly (#2300, #2959 by @xmxxc).
+- Added support for `enum.ref` in `--interactive` prompts. Required vars using
+  `enum.ref` now show the selection list like static enums, instead of falling
+  back to free-form input (#2817 by @vmaerten).
+- Added Nushell completions, available via `task --completion nu`. They complete
+  task names and aliases, every flag with its description, and the values of
+  `--completion`, `--output` and `--sort` (#2966 by @vmaerten).
+- Added a verbose log line for failed tasks. In `--verbose` mode, a task whose
+  command exits non-zero now reports `task: "<name>" failed: <error>` instead of
+  stopping without a trace (#2240 by @Drino).

+- Fixed a pinned `checksum:` not being verified when a remote Taskfile came from

 - Fixed the fingerprint variable (`{{.CHECKSUM}}`/`{{.TIMESTAMP}}`) ignoring a
   `method:` set at the Taskfile level: the variable now follows the same method
   resolution as the up-to-date check. Only the variable matching the effective

 - Fixed the JSON schema rejecting `ignore_error` on a command inside a `for`
   loop. Editors no longer flag a Taskfile that Task runs perfectly fine (#2044
   by @gokeefe-atb).
 - Fixed the JSON schema rejecting more keys the Taskfile parser accepts:
   `ignore_error` on a `task:` call, and `if`, `set` and `shopt` on a command
   inside a `for` loop (#2967 by @vmaerten).
